We hope you enjoy your new Braun Shaver.
This shaver cools the skin to give you a cooling
sensation for a pleasant shave.
Read these instructions completely, they
contain safety information. Keep them for
future reference.
Warning
Your appliance is provided with a special cord set, which has an integrated
Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply.
Do not exchange or tamper with any
part of it, otherwise there is risk of an
electric shock. Only use the special
cord set provided with your appliance.
If the appliance is marked

power supply coded 492-XXXX.
This appliance is suitable for use
in a bathtub or shower. For safe-
tyreasons the appliance can
only be operated cordless.
We recommend not to use the shaver
with any foam or gel to ensure that you
– experience the optimal cooling
effect.

from the Clean&Charge station (for
cc models).
– avoid potential damage to the device.
Do not shave with a damaged foil or
cord.

station is placed on a flat surface.
When a cleaning cartridge is installed,
do not tip, move suddenly or transport
the station in any way as cleaning fluid
might spill out of the cartridge.

cabinet, nor place it on a polished or
lacquered surface.
The cleaning cartridge contains a highly
flammable liquid so keep it away from
sources of ignition. Do not expose to

First use and Charging
Prior to first use connect the shaver to an electrical
outlet using the charging shell as described below
or for models CT6cc/CT5cc/CT4cc/CT3cc/CT2cc
the Clean&Charge station (see Chapter «Automatic
Clean&Charge station description»).
Note: The shaver can only be charged via the
charging shell or the Clean&Charge station.
21
Models CT4s/CT2s must not be used with the
Clean&Charge station.
Charging shell (see fig. B)
• Click the charging shell (12a) onto the stand (12c
- models CT4s/CT2s only). Using the special cord
set (10), connect the shell power socket (12b) to
an electrical outlet.
• Place the shaver into the charging shell. The
contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to
align with the contacts (12d) in the charging shell.
A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits
properly in the station.
• The shaver will be automatically charged.
Charging and basic operating information
• A full charge provides the following operating
times according to your beard growth and
environmental temperatures:
– ca. 45 minutes without activated cooling
function
– ca. 15 minutes with activated cooling function;
afterwards 20 minutes operating time without
cooling function.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging
is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly
or at all under extreme low or high temperatures.
Recommended ambient temperature for shaving
is 15 °C to 35 °C.
• Do not expose the appliance to temperatures
higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
• When the shaver is connected to an electrical
outlet, it may take some minutes until the display
illuminates.
Shaver display
Charge status
During charging the symbol in the on/off switch (5)
blinks green. When fully charged, it will light up for a
few seconds, provided the shaver is connected to an
electrical outlet.
Low charge
The symbol in the on/off switch (5) shines red when
the battery is running low. You should be able to
finish your shave. When switching off the shaver a
beep sound reminds you of the low charge status.
Cooling Status
The symbol shines blue with activated cooling
function. When the battery is running low it starts
blinking.
Cleaning Status (only models CT6cc/CT5cc/
CT4cc/CT3cc/CT2cc)
The cleaning indicator lights up, when the shaver
needs to be cleaned in the Clean&Charge station.
22
Travel lock
The lock symbol lights up when the shaver has
been locked to avoid unintended starting of the
motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase).
Using the shaver (see fig. A)
Press the on/off switch (5) to operate the shaver.
Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best results, Braun recommends you to follow
3 simple steps:
1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at right angles
(90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the
direction of your beard growth.
Cooling
Note: The cooling sensation experienced may differ
from person to person. It is influenced by personal
and environmental factors (e.g. skin, environmental
temperature).
To activate the cooling function, press the cooling
switch (3) during shaving. The symbol in the
cooling switch shines blue. For best cooling performance, we recommend to wait a few seconds
after the cooling function has been activated.
Then continue shaving as usual.
The symbol in the cooling switch (3) starts
blinking when the battery is running low and there is
not enough energy left for the cooling function. You
should be able to finish your shave with activated
cooling function. We recommend to charge the
appliance afterwards to have the cooling function
available for the next shave.
You can deactivate the cooling function by pressing
the cooling switch again.
Long hair trimmer
To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, press the
release button (8) and slide the long hair trimmer (6)
upwards.
Travel lock
• Activation: By pressing the on/off switch (5) for
3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is confirmed
by a beep sound and the lock symbol in the
display. Afterwards the display turns off.
• Deactivation: By pressing the on/off switch for
3 seconds the shaver is unlocked again.
Manual cleaning of the shaver
(see fig. C/D)
The shaver is suitable for cleaning under running tap
water. Detach the shaver from the power supply
before cleaning it in water.
• Switch the shaver on and rinse the shaver
head under hot running water until all residues
have been removed. You may use liquid soap
without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam
and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the Foil &
Cutter cassette and let it dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then
once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on
top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter
cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using
a brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head.
Do not clean the cassette with the brush as this
may damage it!
Clean&Charge station
(models CT6cc/CT5cc/CT4cc/CT3cc/CT2cc)
The Clean&Charge station has been developed for
cleaning, charging, lubricating, disinfecting and
storing your Braun shaver.

14 Lift button for cartridge exchange
15 Station-to-shaver contacts
16a Level indicator

Cleaning the shaver
When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver
display, insert the shaver into the Clean&Charge
station, upside down and with the front showing.
Start automatic cleaning
Start the cleaning process by pressing the start
button (17). If the status light (16b) does not shine
(Clean&Charge station switches to stand-by after
about 10 minutes), press the start button twice.
Otherwise cleaning will not start.
For best shaving results, we recommend
cleaning after each shave.
The cleaning program consists of several cycles,
where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver
head. The cleaning time takes 3 minutes. During this
time the status light of the Clean&Charge station
blinks.
Leave the shaver in the station for drying. It takes
several hours until remaining moisture evaporates
depending on the climatic conditions. Afterwards
the shaver is ready for use.
After completing the cleaning and charging session,
the indicators of the Clean&Charge station turn off.
Removing the shaver from the Clean&Charge
station (see fig. F)
Hold the Clean&Charge station with one hand and
tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.
Installing the Clean&Charge station (see fig. E)
• Remove the protection foil from the Clean&Charge
station display.
• Press the lift button (14) at the rear side of the
Clean&Charge station to lift up the housing.
• Hold the cleaning cartridge (18) down on a flat,
stable surface (e.g. table).
• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.
• Slide the cartridge from the rear side into the base
of the station until it snaps into place.
• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it
locks.
• Using the special cord set (10), connect the
station power socket (13) to an electrical outlet.
Charging the shaver in the Clean&Charge station
Insert the shaver head down into the Clean&Charge
station.
Important: The shaver needs to be dry and free
from any foam or soap residue!
The contacts (7) on the back of the shaver need to
align with the contacts (15) in the Clean&Charge
station. Push the shaver in the correct position.
A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly
in the station. The Clean&Charge station will
automatically charge the shaver.
Cleaning Cartridge / Replacement (see fig. G)
When the level indicator
red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient
for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator
blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced
(about every 3–4 weeks when used daily).
After having pressed the lift button (14) to open the
housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the
used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Before
discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close
the openings using the lid of the new cartridge,
since the used cartridge will contain contaminated
cleaning solution.
The hygienic cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or
isopropanol (dependent on country – specification
see cartridge), which once opened will naturally
evaporate slowly into the surrounding air.
Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced
after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal
disinfection.
The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for
the shaving system which may leave residual marks
on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of
the Clean&Charge station after cleaning. These
marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a
damp cloth.
